Blake and his wife have had some rocky times but are doing their best to raise their young son and forget the past in a rural cottage in the country.
One day While Blake and Ricky are having some father son time together they find an old picture frame buried on the property. Ricky wants to keep it and soon has it cleaned up and looking good as new. However unfortunate incidents begin to occur immediately afterwards.
This was a short and spooky read and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a horror story without excessive gore. Even if it did irk me a bit that nobody would consider getting medical attention or rabies shots after being bitten by a wild animal. I suppose horror doesn't always have to make perfect sense.

I received a complimentary copy for review

This was an enjoyable and entertaining book. Fast paced, I read almost all of it in one sitting. Good flow. I wasn't a huge fan of the characters though. While I read it in the daylight it wasn't scary, but once I was alone and reading in the dark before bed? Yeah, I was quite spooked. Horror stories aren't my normal genre, but I adore horror movies for the simple fact I like to be frightened. It's difficult for a book to scare me, when it does I'm happy. I wish this one had scared me more, but what can you do? I'm glad I took the time to read it though. I'd like to read more from this author.

Wickedly terrifying pretty much covers my thoughts about this book. Oh and also that I enjoyed it immensely.

So stop wasting your time with this review and go read THE PICTURE FRAME.
